Wilcher getting good looks, but ….

Don't see a difference in this game. Kalkbrener and Ashworth win your athletic argument.

You can outplay someone while being a lesser athlete. The whole point of my post. If you think ashworth is the athlete smith is more power to you. If you think ash worth is a better basketball player, you could have an argument.

Kalk is just the worst possible matchup for our mid-range and rim-oriented team. And we have had no answers to the loss of that staple.

Allowing Creighton to control the pace also not helpful. I'm sure there is a reason to avoid pressing them but it would have potentially altered the pace and style in our favor from slow and structured to fast and unstructured.

Also Sim is not having a great game but if you look at the shooting numbers for Smith, Luis and Scott you might wanna get off his nuts

When does Kalkbrenner retire ?

 

[Jack Williams]

Down 6 with 5 minutes left shouldn't feel insurmountable but us getting a bucket is like pulling teeth right now

 

[Silly Donovan]

This team is completely unprepared for Kalkbrenner. That’s on the coaching staff.

 

[MJDinkins]

For all the "smith is going to dominate ashworth" guys, the exact opposite happened tonight.

Ashworth destroyed us.

It felt like Smith's offensive game started to affect him defensively.

Yeah, the whole group lousy today

Why are we not pressing a turnover prone team???!

I'm also a bit surprised.

can you blame them he hasn't been in the Big East that long

 

[SI1996]

Forget about our so called depth. In this game you would be hard pressed to find three guys playing well. Still possible to come back but time is running out. Our D STINKS.

You guys must be fun at parties.

 

[paultzman]

Kadary’s main value on O is driving lane w his quirky penetration

 

[Amaseinyourface]

Creighton has 16 turnovers and we got nothing to show for it.

And they have 54 points with 3:45 left. Dont think that would be an indication of us playing poor defensively.

Don't forget Kalkbrenner.

 

[Knight]

Rick getting schooled.

 

[espken]

Down 54-48 under 4 media timeout

 

[gregbodkin]

Kadary is NOT the player that he's cracked up to be. No wonder SH let him go.

 

[dk423]

Going to be tough beating NCAA tournament quality teams with just hitting two 3s...

Do think we will beat some, and be one, but not having one three point shooter to trust + bad free throwing shooting, makes you really prone to losing some terrible games as well.

And only 5 this half, adjustments I guess or we tired. Exhausting when you miss so often
